uring his farewell tour of Afghanistan, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates visited Camp Dwyer, June 5, to praise service members and field a variety of questions.

Gates told a gathering of approximately 500 that he made the trip primarily to congratulate those who have fought terrorism at some point since the Sept. 11, 2001, tragedy.

He explained that his time as defense secretary is coming

to an end, and seemed close to tears while reflecting on the sacrifices of those who have fought terrorism over the past decade. During his closing remarks, his voice quivered as he confessed that the troops are always in his thoughts and prayers.

After his speech, Gates fielded questions on current military issues.

Gunnery Sgt. Josef Venerose said he was impressed with Gates’ efforts to provide meaningful answers to topics ranging from “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” to how Osama Bin Laden’s death may impact counterinsurgency

operations in Afghanistan.

“I thought he was very elaborate,” said Venerose, the Headquarters and Support Company gunnery sergeant with Regimental Combat Team 1.

Gates’ remarks didn’t, however, break any new ground.

Regarding the military’s new policy on homosexuality, the same standards of professional conduct will apply, he said; all sexual interaction will be equally forbidden in the workplace.

On how Osama Bin Laden’s death may impact timelines for troop withdrawal, Gates said he won’t jeopardize coalition

gains by prematurely recommending a drawdown.

Lance Cpl. Davin Dupuis said Gates’ input on “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and military spending cuts came as a relief.

The Camp Dwyer guard with 1st Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment, said he now feels confident that there “won’t be a whole lot of change with the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (repeal) … and with the benefits and pay.”

Sgt. Blayne Schott chimed in on Gates’ response to the budget questions.

Coming soon: Vocational technical schools teach Afghans valuable skills LANCE CPL. DANIEL WULZ

New methods of learning and teaching Afghans essential skills, such as those necessary to build businesses and stimulate their economy, are slated to arrive in Marjah within the next two months.

Marines from Company K, 3rd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, in conjunction with the 3rd Bn., 9th Marines civil affairs group, are currently working to turn empty bazaar areas into new vocational technical schools.

These schools are the innovation of 3rd Bn., 9th Marines that began in December 2010, and will provide courses such as masonry, carpentry, automobile mechanics, motorcycle mechanics and con-

struction to further the skill sets of Afghan citizens.

“Eventually the security situation here is going to get better,” said 1st Lt. Jason B. Hibler, the weapons platoon commander, Company K, 3rd Bn., 9th Marines. “We’ve already opened up four little shops for vo-tech courses, and we’ve currently got Marines asking and looking around for potential teachers.”

Marines with 3rd Bn., 9th Marines have been conducting vocational technical courses aboard Forward Operating Base Marjah for locals, Afghan National Army soldiers and Afghan Uniformed Police since shortly after their arrival to Afghanistan.

“The idea is to bring in more technical jobs for the Afghans,” said 1st Lt. Dirk J. Erickson, the

civil affairs assistant team leader, 3rd Bn., 9th Marines.

The goal for the Marine Corps is sustainability, said Erickson.

“There are more than 1,200 Afghan police in Marjah right now and we’re trying to get more,” he said. “If the dynamic ever changes and there is less warfare and need for police, they can have these skills and classes to turn to in order to make a business that will thrive.”

The Afghanistan Army and police troops are taking their lessons one at a time and slowly gaining more independence from coalition forces. The vocational technical classes are scheduled to begin within the next two months, following the construction and renovation of buildings to hold them in.

Marines see a man walking; he does not see them. He hunches down and starts to dig. The Marines believe he is planting an improvised explosive device, but they do not know for sure.

There is nothing that identifies him as the enemy.

For the Marines of 2nd Radio Battalion, Task Force Belleau Wood, their communication will be the key in determining whether or not that man is friend or foe.

“It’s almost impossible to tell who the bad guys are,” said Lance Cpl. Andrew J. Armstrong, a forward observer with Fire Control Team 5, Supporting Arms Liaison Team Chuck, 2nd Air-Naval Gunfire Liaison Company. “The Taliban use farmers, women and children as

shields. They hide among them and use them to their advantage.

“When (2nd) Radio Battalion got out here, they opened our eyes as to where the Taliban were hiding. They’re the Marine Corps’ greatest asset out here right now. Those guys are money,” said Armstrong.

Where Radio Bn. “makes its money” is in giving coalition units indication and warning of insurgent activity. The battalion consists of linguists and signal analysts who identify enemy communication and help units identify potential areas of enemy activity. If they confirm any hostile intentions, they pass the information to the unit they are supporting. That unit then administers justice as required.

cuts – specifically, how (they are) going to affect people,” said Schott, the assault section leader with 1st Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment.

After the question and answer session, Gates made himself available for photos with everyone in attendance. As camera bulbs flashed, he shook hands and passed out a seemingly endless supply of personalized military coins, which prominent military officials often use to recognize service members’ dedication.

Gates is slated to step down from his post as the secretary of defense this month.

s much as 85 percent of Afghanistan’s economic activity is made up of agricultural enterprises in the Helmand and Nimroz provinces. This impressive economic stature makes these areas attractive opportunities for coalition forces to develop and promote independent agricultural growth.

With the help of the local government and co-operative members, mostly farmers, coalition forces have begun the planning needed to develop better agricultural processes. It began in Marjah, with a groundbreaking ceremony for a packing facility, recently.

Marjah is an ideal place to begin sustainable agricultural projects, the primary reason being its extensive irrigation system, fed by the Boghra Canal. Equal dispersion of water resources allows for double cropping, or the harvesting of winter and summer crops on the same land.

“The process we have in this area is too old,” said Abdul Mutalib, the district governor of Marjah. “We need a modern approach, and the SEE MARJAH 6A

Buying a car: Know your rights

Cpl. Rafael Garcia

Arbitration agreements often used by car dealerships to avoid responsibility for fraudulent sales, defective products

If you purchased a car recently, or obtained financing through a car dealer, the chances are pretty good that you were asked to sign a document where you gave up the following rights in any dispute with the dealer: your right to a jury trial, your right to your day in court, your right to inspect documents and evidence in the hands of the car dealer that you would otherwise be entitled to in court, your right to participate in a class action lawsuit and your right to appeal.

Furthermore, you were probably asked to authorize someone beholden to the auto industry for his livelihood to decide your case.

That’s what a binding arbitration agreement does, and they are being used by car dealers more and more often now so they can avoid responsibility for fraudulent sales and defective products.

Some contracts may even require that only one party, the buyer, give up his rights.

Can they do that? The short answer is, yes. The car dealer can insist that you give up all these rights in order for you to get a loan from

them or even to buy a car from them. The agreement provides that you waive your right to a trial, judge and a jury, authorizing instead an arbitrator to decide your case. The agreement may even identify the organization from which the arbitrator will be selected.

If giving up your right to your day in court is important enough to you, refuse to sign the arbitration agreement and walk away from the deal, even if you have already signed documents related to the sale, such as the retail sales and installment contract. Psychologically, it’s extremely hard to walk away from the sale, especially if you have just spent several hours shopping and negotiating. However, you can refuse to sign and go somewhere else to buy your car. The dealer may tell you that all car dealers require binding arbitration, but that is just not the case at least not yet. In any event, the vast majority of your car shopping and negotiation should be done over the telephone and the Internet. Call ahead to find out whether the dealer forces all its cus-

tomers to sign an arbitration agreement.

The agreement may say that the arbitrator will be fair and neutral, but consumer groups and advocates will tell you otherwise. It wouldn’t be surprising to learn the arbitrator has a favorable bias in the industry. After all, you are likely to have only one arbitration case; a national car dealer will have far more.

The arbitrator who wants to be selected for other cases can increase the likelihood of more such additional business by resolving issues in favor of car dealers.

The auto dealer is not allowed to misrepresent the arbitration provision or lie to you in order to get you to sign it. For example, the salesman cannot attempt to convince you that the arbitration agreement is really an extended service contract or insurance policy.

They cannot tell you that the law requires all consumers, or all service members, to sign the arbitration agreement. A Marine recently complained that the salesman told him that the USA Patriot Act required binding arbitration as a condition

of all car sales. Such unfair and deceptive acts and practices should be reported to the chain of command, to the military legal assistance office and to the Theft and Licensing section of the Department of Motor Vehicles. Online complaints may be made to the Federal Trade Commission Military Sentinel and the consumer affairs section of the North Carolina Attorney General.

Ironically, the same car dealers that force you to consent to arbitration were themselves extremely afraid of losing their own trial rights when it came to their relationship with the auto manufacturers. Thus, they successfully lobbied and campaigned for a special exemption in the law. In 2002, the Motor Vehicles Franchise Contract Arbitration Fairness Act was enacted, preventing manufacturers from imposing on car dealers the same terms car dealers routinely attempt to impose on consumers. Thus, in contracts between auto manufacturers and auto dealers, arbitration is binding only if both parties consent after the dispute arises.

MARINE CORPS AIR GROUND COMBAT CENTER TWENTYNINE PALMS, CALIF.

Marines train in COIN, establish key links in community CPL. JAMES W. CLARK 2nd Marine Division

Moving across arid plains or through recently deserted city streets, today’s Marines are tasked with balancing the conflicting roles of warfighter and goodwill ambassador. As part of the Enhanced Mojave Viper training evolution at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif., the men of Company B, 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, are building the skill set necessary to accomplish that goal.

During a Clear, Hold, Build training exercise, designed to instill the Marines with an understanding of the inner workings of counterinsurgency operations, Company B conducted a cordon and search mission at the Military Operations on Urban Terrain facility, recently.

As Marines patrolled the training area, Afghan nationals participating as role-players helped to simulate an environment akin to one they will encounter on their upcoming deployment. The simulation was accurate down to the often frustrating encounters with the language barrier and the populace’s skepticism of the Marines’ intent as well as their Afghan Security International Assistance Force counterparts: the Afghan National Police.

Stepping out on patrol, the Marines of Company B immediately encountered resistance as they set out to build ties and search for the local mullah, the community’s religious figurehead.

“We went out and searched for the mullah and started doing our first interactions with the locals,” said Lance Cpl. Nata Coelho, a rifleman with Company B. “For the new (Marines), it

In the states we don’t have communities like that,” Coelho explained, highlighting one of the larger cultural changes the Marines must adapt to – the understanding that they are entering very tightly-knit neighborhoods and communities, where word of mouth reigns supreme and the smallest of mistakes can have disastrous results.

“Having one person who has such power in the community – talking to that guy can really make or break you,” Coelho continued.

“You have to set that standard of just being a professional at all times. It brings out the character in every Marine – they have to be able to do our job and stick with it.”

Coelho highlighted a key cornerstone of counterinsurgency operations, one

that is perhaps the most significant as well as the most challenging – winning over the populace while still remaining ready for combat at a moment’s notice. In effect, the Marines must be able to walk the razors edge, garnering support from the locals, while simultaneously routing the Taliban.

The day’s training was meant to re-familiarize the senior Marines and foster new skill sets within their

juniors, explained Cpl. Christopher Ginandt, a designated marksman with Company B. “Overall, they did pretty well. Some of the newer guys had never done it, but your first few times it’s always difficult,” Ginandt said. “I think they understand it’s now more of a hearts and minds war.”

Coelho, who was with 1st Battalion, 6th Marines when they pushed into Marjah,

Afghanistan during their last deployment, described the effects he witnessed firsthand of winning over the local population, who denies the Taliban the most critical aspect of today’s war – the Afghan people.

“The most frustrating thing is that the battlefield has completely changed.

It’s not uniform on uniform anymore, it’s the local populace that has to be won over,” said Coelho.

Marine survives two IEDs, stays in fight LANCE CPL. BRYAN NYGAARD II Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward)

L

ance Cpl. Andrew J. Armstrong’s fellow Marines call him, “Rock.” The name fits him well. Armstrong has survived not one, but two improvised explosive devices. He is still in the fight and shows no signs of stopping. However, the memory of the first IED will always be engraved in his mind.

On Dec. 10, 2010, Armstrong, a forward observer with Fire Control Team 5, Supporting Arms Liaison Team Chuck, 2nd Air-Naval Gunfire Liaison Company, was on a patrol with soldiers of the 32nd Georgian Light Infantry Battalion. He was accompanied by his team chief, Sgt. Jamie Lee Lantgen, and Petty Officer 2nd Class Greg Christ, a hospitalman with FCT-5. Also present were Cpl. Alex Wilson from 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, who was attached to the Georgian Liaison

Team, and Staff Sgt. Stacy Green, from 1st Bn., 8th Marines, who was working with the Afghan National Army Embedded Training Team.

The patrol consisted of four mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicles, and was driving through the village of Corgulat when they spotted something suspicious on the road: three rocks stacked on top of each other. It was a sign of a possible IED. The patrol stopped, set up a perimeter around the area and called in an explosive ordnance disposal team to investigate whether it was in fact an IED. It was mid-afternoon.

“It’s TIC time!” yelled Lantgen.

The ANGLICO Marines and Georgian soldiers had learned to expect contact with insurgent forces, or troops in contact, during this time of day. Minutes later, the patrol started taking fire.

Sgt. Christopher Holm, the team leader for FCT-6, was on an observation post and saw the patrol taking fire from the east. He called the Marines from a radio

and told them to take cover on the western side of the vehicles.

“I just turned the corner and the next thing I knew, I was on the ground,” Armstrong said about being thrown from the explosive blast. “My initial thought was that I had been hit by a rocket-propelled grenade.

I felt pain in my right arm.

First thing I did was wiggle my fingers and toes to make sure they were still there.”

Green was killed instantly from stepping on the IED. Lantgen was standing between Green and Armstrong. His right arm was broken and the right side of his face and body were covered in blood from shrapnel wounds.

Armstrong was shielded from the blast by Lantgen and absorbed about 10 pieces of small shrapnel around his neck. His elbow was swollen from a piece of Staff Sgt. Green’s gear that hit him in the arm. Christ was knocked unconscious, but moments later woke up and immediately began administering medical care to Lantgen.

The firing stopped as soon as the IED deto-

nated. Armstrong tried getting up. He says it was comparable to the opening scene of the movie “Saving Private Ryan,” where Tom Hanks’ character, Capt. Miller, experiences shellshock just as he lands on Omaha Beach.

“I was messed up bad – I had tunnel vision. I couldn’t really hear anything, I was shaking,” Armstrong said.

“I saw doc working on Sgt. Lantgen. Then I saw Staff Sgt. Green’s body. I didn’t know it was him at the time. I asked Wilson if it was one of our guys. He grabbed me, told me not to worry about it and pulled me away from him.”

Everyone was in a somber mood when Armstrong returned to base. Green had been killed and Lantgen, a valuable member of the team who everyone looked up to, was lost to injury.

Lantgen, a veteran of Iraq, was known to deliberately expose himself in order to draw enemy fire so the rest of his team knew where to aim.

“IEDs don’t see your rank or what you’ve accomplished – they just see a victim,” Armstrong said.

Cpl. Matthew Williams, a radio operator with FCT-5, remembers seeing Armstrong for the first time that night.

“His face told the whole story,” said Williams. “You could tell he’d been through hell. The first thing he said when he got back was, ‘I don’t want to go back to (Camp) Leatherneck.’”

Weeks later, during another patrol, Armstrong was within 20 meters of another IED blast. Nobody was killed, but Armstrong had been exposed to a second IED. It is policy in Afghanistan for troops to remain on a forward operating base if they are exposed to three IEDs. Capt.

Ramon Pattugalan, the team leader for FCTs 5 and 6, did not want to risk having Armstrong confined to Camp Leatherneck.

“It was tough to see that look on his face when I told him he couldn’t go out anymore,” Pattugalan said.

“He’s a true team player.

He’s the type of guy that doesn’t want us to go into the fight without him.”

Armstrong begged Pattugalan to let him stay in

the fight. Pattugalan told him that he did not need to worry, he had a plan.

Pattugalan, who serves as the joint terminal attack controller for FCT 6 and coordinates close air support for the Georgian troops, has mentored Armstrong into becoming a joint forward observer.

“He helped me learn how to control aircraft,” Armstrong said. “That way I can go to Joint Forward Observer’s course when we get back to the states.

Eventually, I can be a team chief.”

Even though Armstrong is not allowed to go out on patrols, he has been designated as a primary machine gunner and is able to provide overwatch from observation posts around the base. He says it is a welcome break from being inside the combat operations center.

“I still get to bring out the (M-240 medium machine gun) and I still get to get in on the action,” he said. “I don’t like being in the COC watching things happen on a TV. I’m just not really an office type of guy.”

Marines in Marjah produce results Retiree Corner LANCE CPL. DANIEL WULZ Regional Command Southwest

When Marines of 3rd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, came aboard Forward Operating Base Marjah, December 2010, Marine communication specialists tapped into insurgent intelligence.

Upon seeing the Marines of 3rd Bn., 9th Marines, insurgents were convinced they had witnessed the arrival of a special forces unit, and 3rd

Bn., 9th Marines could hear them discuss this.

“We arrived here with the latest and best gear that the Marine Corps had to offer,” said Chief Warrant Officer 3 Stephen W. Larose, the senior chief warrant officer for 3rd Bn., 9th Marines.

“Based off of what these Marines have accomplished, I’d say that the enemy wasn’t too far off in their assumption. These (Marines) are amazing.”

In less than 160 days, the Marines have been in

250 small-arms firefights, found more than 350 weapons cache, detained 118 insurgents, built or moved 15 patrol bases in Marjah to provide better security to the area and also discovered more than 200 improvised explosive devices. Eighty percent of the IEDs were found before detonation.

“Those statistics are staggering and really show what 3rd Bn., 9th Marines has accomplished,” said Larose.

Share your time, bring smiles to retirees

In the retired community, we sometimes forget those we have served with.

Yesterday I visited a retiree in a care facility, located in Jacksonville, N.C. When I was leaving the facility I saw an amazing thing. A patient, who happens to be a military retiree and a double amputee, wheeled himself out to the flagpole, lowered the flag with honors and rolled back into the facility. I was told he does this each morning and afternoon with dedication and honor. This is very humbling for all of us – so called “able people” who just go about our day. We need to visit these types of facilities and get to know the veterans and family members that reside there. We try to imagine we will never be confined to a convalescent home or long-term care facility, but chances are – we will. Imagine sitting for hours, days, and weeks with no one coming to see you. How tragic and sad this must feel for these patients each and every day. The staff and caretakers generally work hard in these facilities to ease the burdens, but the loneliness is common place and preventable by someone caring enough to visit.

I am asking you in the retired community to consider helping out your fellow retirees and retiree family members in these facilities. Commit part of your time that you can spare and devote it to others. We all gave during our military time, but there is so much more we can now contribute. We will gain a true self-satisfaction and gratification that is immeasurable and healthy. You are never as blessed as when you help someone else. It doesn’t matter what service, rank, or job you retired with, you can be a vital link to someone who needs it now. I truly believe everyone should step up in the civilian community, but it is the retired community I communicate with. If you need help with finding a worthwhile mission or area to give time to, contact me at 451-0287 or come by and we will find the right fit for the right circumstance. You are going to feel more alive, vital and more fulfilled when you step out and help someone else in need. It takes 10 seconds to dial my number and I promise you will not regret it.

A couple of years ago, Afghan policeman Shakh Muhammad was on a drug clearing mission when one of his best friends stepped on an improvised explosive device and lost his life.

Now, Muhammad is learning how to counter IEDs during the Afghan Uniformed Police Basic Course at Joint Sustainment Academy Southwest, here.

“That was a sad day,” said Muhammad, reflecting on his friend’s death. He hopes his training at the IED range on Camp Bastion will help him learn how to locate and destroy IEDs to prevent others from dying in the blast.

Throughout the day, Muhammad and his fellow policemen patrolled down simulated valleys and cleared paths filled with mock IEDs. Improvised explosive devices are the weapon of choice of the Afghan insurgency. The devices pose a lethal threat to coalition forces and Afghan civilians.

“All the students here have had bad experiences with the Taliban,” said 1st Lt. Joshua Oresko, the course’s lead instructor. “This has made them anxious in learning how they can become better and how they can make their country better.”

During the course, the 45 students from Nimroz province learned IED components so they will be able to recognize materials while searching buildings or conducting vehicle checkpoints.

“They’ll also be able to identify the suspicious behavior of individuals setting up for or conducting IED attacks,” said Capt. Joseph L. Dalton, the assistant director of JSAS. Course participants also learned how to use the Vallon, a metal detector used to locate IEDs. Vallon operations and sweeps increase the AUP’s ability to detect IEDs and their materials that have been placed under dirt or other forms of landscape.

“This will not only assist them in their daily operations, but will be most beneficial when operating in a new area or during an increased force protection level,” Dalton said.

The use of the Vallon and other skills acquired at the IED range will help Afghans like Muhammad in future missions. After graduation, Muhammad and the rest of the policemen will return to the local populace in Nimroz where IEDs will be a common threat.

“We are learning things here,” Muhammad said. “Learning this material will help me find IEDs so that next time maybe my friend doesn’t have to die.”

FORWARD OPERATING BASE MARJAH, AFGHANISTAN

New radio helps Marines accomplish mission LANCE CPL. DANIEL WULZ Regional Command Southwest

Upon arrival to Forward Operating Base Marjah, Marines from communications platoon, 3rd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, were introduced to a new piece of equipment, the AN/PRC117G radio.

The radio, far more advanced than its predecessors, has many different and new abilities that make it useful to Marines in the field.

“Marines can now do more data related things than they could before with the older radios,” said Sgt. James B. Miller, the radio supervisor for communications platoon, 3rd Bn., 9th Marines. “We used to have a lot of issues with power and weight on the older models, but that isn’t a problem anymore.”

The new radio has an efficiency rating of 85 percent compared to the older radio’s efficiency rating of 75 percent, according to Master Sgt. Jeffrey A. Carte, the communications chief for the platoon.

“The new radio is much smaller and lighter,” said Carte. “It is a major benefit out here for Marines on foot patrol and for setting up communications

in vehicles.”

One new advantage of the radio is it can be mounted directly to tactical vehicles to create mobile communications hubs.

“The vehicle mounted version of the radio allows us to push Internet and phones to Marines,” Carte said.

When Marines take pictures and gather intelligence on patrols, they can report it to the command center using the Internet connection provided by the radio, Carte explained.

The Marines received no formal training on the new radio. They learned to use it to the fullest of its capabilities through perseverance and a few lessons when they arrived in Afghanistan.

“The 117G radio was introduced to Marines in Afghanistan a few months before we arrived. So Marines from 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, had it briefly,” Carte said.

Now that the Marines have a good grasp of the new radio, they intend to share the knowledge with incoming Marines who have yet to use the new technology. Eventually, the Marines hope to see the radio being used and taught routinely at training events and exercises across the Marine Corps.

After seven months of disrupting enemy activity in the Upper Sangin Valley of Afghanistan’s Helmand province in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, the Marines and sailors of 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division (Forward), returned to the battalion’s barracks at Courthouse Bay aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, June 12 and 13.

Friends and family crowded near the parking lot outside of the battalion’s barracks to wait for their warriors to get off the buses. An inflatable bounce house, giant chess and checkers sets and refreshments occupied them before the return. To the delight of those waiting, the first wave arrived an hour ahead of schedule.

The Marines and sailors of the battalion participated in multiple operations from November 2010 until their transfer of authority with 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion, June 3.

The battalion entered a violent battle space that had little to no coalition presence when they arrived. It is considered by some to be one of the most dangerous parts of Afghanistan. They conducted a wide spectrum of operations, to include route security, human

and physical terrain mapping, disruption and interdiction operations and enhancing relationships with key local leaders.

“When we initially went into the Upper Sangin Valley, it was highly kinetic,” said Lt. Col. Lawrence Hussey, the battalion commander. “We were in firefights and engagements on almost a daily basis. It is still fairly kinetic, but it is far less than it had been.”

Friends and family rushed to greet their Marines and sailors as they exited the buses. Cpl. Daniel Lecour, a reconnaissance Marine with Company A, was greeted by his fiancé, Amy, and two-year-old son. Being with his family was his favorite part of coming home. Amy and his son were every bit excited as well.

“We just aren’t letting him go anywhere for a while,” said Amy. Hussey said his Marines exceeded all expectations, part of which could be attributed to the families waiting for them back home.

“I have asked a lot of my men during this deployment, and I stand in awe of them each and every day at what they’ve been able to accomplish,” he explained.

“This deployment has weighed heavily on our families, and they have endured much. They are truly our foundation and our source of strength. We could not do this without their love and support.”

MARJAH FROM 1A international community is helping us with this.”

This modern approach includes using the available water resources, as well as relying on the resiliency and determination of the local population to thrive.

“The people requested this building to make a better market … it will definitely help the community,” Mutalib added.

The Afghan people have relied on agriculture for hundreds of years to support their families and their country, but it has not been easy.

“Farmers are hampered by adversities,” said Capt. Mike McDowell, the civil affairs team leader with Regimental Combat Team 1. “There is a lack of road systems and there is no distribution system.”

The packing facility will allow farmers to expand and manage their own business.

“This building represents a chance for local farmers to control their business, creates jobs and gives them an opportunity to sell their own fruits and vegetables at a good price,” said McDowell.

The building process also includes a plan to develop more roads in order to expedite the distribution process. Without the roads, the farmers will remain unable to sell all of the produce they

harvest because they cannot get it out of the local community.

“Now, all the crops are harvested and sold at the same time,” McDowell stated.

The excess supply versus the demand means the leftover produce rots, he said.

With a packing facility in the community, the farmers will be able to sanitize and wash, crate and pack, then ship the produce to farther reaches of the country.

“Farmers can, and will, produce more knowing they have a market beyond the locals,” said Maggie Rhodes, a U.S. Department of Agriculture representative.

“This increased capacity for long-term agricultural growth and production will equal long-term stability.”

It is the eventual wish of the project’s investors and participants to be able to sell Afghan produce in the international market.

More buildings and plants are scheduled to be built in the near future.

“The success is the result of the contributions of the Afghan leaders sitting here today,” said Maj. Gen. John A. Toolan, commanding general of Regional Command Southwest. “If it wasn’t for (their) courage and hard work, things like today wouldn’t be happening in Marjah.”

Marine Adviser Team trains Afghans to lead themselves LANCE CPL. DANIEL WULZ Regional Command Southwest

S

ince November 2010, the 3rd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, adviser team has been guiding and teaching Afghan National Army soldiers here.

The adviser team has spent the months following their arrival teaching ANA soldiers land navigation, radio, communication and marksmanship skills, counter improvised explosive device measures and how to patrol.

“The ANA has really improved in taking pride in what they do,” said Sgt. Steven M. Cheek Jr., a squad leader instructor for

the 3rd Bn., 9th Marines adviser team. “Once the soldiers started learning, they didn’t want to stop and they picked up on what the Marines were doing very quickly.”

Upon arrival of the adviser team, Marines learned the ANA had little knowledge of managing their own logistics. In response, Marines began teaching these skills in addition to the basic infantry skills the soldiers were already learning.

“The biggest issue for us was the ANA being worn out and demotivated when we first got here,” said Staff Sgt. Joshua A. Hood, a squad leader instructor for adviser team. “The new (vacation) rotation started by the adviser team, in addition to getting their logis-

Marines with 2nd Radio Battalion, Task Force Belleau Wood, supply units like 2nd ANGLICO with indications and warning of insurgent activity.

RADIO FROM 1A in providing close-air support, thoroughness is very important.

“It helps build our case to drop ordnance,” said Cpl. Darrell Martin, a forward observer with 2nd ANGLICO. “We have to have all the facts laid out in front of us before we attack. We have to be precise, that way we don’t kill any civilians.”

In one instance, 2nd Radio Bn., helped ANGLICO stop an improvised explosive device attack by insurgents.

The battalion received communication concerning someone burying something on a road. Looking through a pair of binoculars, ANGLICO Marines were able to spot two men digging. They also spotted wires going into the ground, which indicated the men were burying an IED. The men were then caught and made to dig up the large pressure-plated IED they had just planted.

In addition to helping stop insurgent attacks, 2nd Radio Bn., Marines also collect information on future operations, information on IED factories and facilitators, enemy tactics and numbers of insurgents.

For Cpl. Scott Harvey, a cryptologic linguist with Operational Command Element 2, Company C, 2nd Radio Bn., cracking the insurgents’ code is not always easy, but when it works, it is a rewarding experience.

“It’s difficult adjusting to the local dialect, terminology and phrases,” said Harvey. “You have you to find a way to translate that into something that makes sense in English.”

Harvey takes pride in the fact that his unit is able to give warning of an attack and ultimately save the lives of Marines.

“We have a direct effect on the situation and the tactical stance of the Marines in the area,” he said. “There’s no one else in the Marine Corps that can do the job that we do.”

tics on track, has their enthusiasm way up.”

Adviser team Marines have successfully fixed logistical issues such as food, water and pay distribution within the ANA. Hood said the ANA soldiers’ morale has vastly improved since 3rd Bn., 9th Marines helped them fix their logistical issues, which in return has made them more eager to work and learn. The adviser team Marines fixed these problems by showing Afghans how to manage their own affairs and keeping them organized.

The Marines have also held courses, such as the Squad Leader Course and the Radio Operator Course, to improve other aspects of the Afghan military skills and proficiency.

“The ANA are now leading patrols by themselves without Marine assistance,” Hood said.

“Tactically they are fully capable.”

In the upcoming weeks, the adviser team, as well as the rest of 3rd Bn., 9th Marines, will be relieved in Marjah, and a new adviser team will take over working with the ANA.

RESULTS FROM 4A “Our mission in Marjah has been to secure the population, partner with Afghan National Security Armed Forces and to develop the government.”

Specifically for use by Afghans, 3rd Bn., 9th Marines developed and graduated two Squad Leader Courses, developed a Professional Officers Course, and recruited more than 1,000 Afghans for the Afghan Uniformed Police throughout their deployment.

“The most important thing we’ve given the people here is the intangible goods,” said Sgt. Maj. Octavio Gallegos Jr., the battalion sergeant major of 3rd Bn., 9th Marines. “The new Marines have been connecting with the Afghans, showing them that we’re not the Soviets here to hurt them, we’ve come here to help.”

When the Marines arrived in Marjah, there were less than 150 children enrolled in school. Today there are more than 3,000 Afghan students attending school on a daily basis. This furthers the education of Afghan children by providing them with literacy and skills that can help their country in the future.

“I’ve been really impressed by the Marines,” said Gallegos. “What I always tell the Marines is that this isn’t about us, it’s about the Afghan people and the Marines have done better than expected with the projects and security to help rebuild Afghanistan.”

(Top) Members of the Fayetteville Enforcers (left) and the Camp Lejeune Bulldogs line up and wait for the play to begin Saturday during the Bulldogs’ 28-13 victory over the Enforcers at Liversedge Field aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. (Below) Bulldog running back Terry Alexander breaks off on a big run en route to his 136 yard, two touchdown performance, Saturday.

or nearly a year, the Camp Lejeune Bulldogs could do nothing but think about what might have been.

It stewed in their heads and remained as a monkey on their backs, one they could do nothing to get rid of.

The Fayetteville Enforcers were the only team to beat the Bulldogs twice last year and were just one of two teams to hand the Bulldogs a loss, the other coming in the playoffs. To make matters worse, one of those losses was a one-point defeat at Liversedge Field aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

Saturday, they finally got their revenge.

Seven days removed from a humbling loss to the Fayetteville Horizon, the Bulldogs (1-1) looked like a possessed team on a mission, tearing apart the Enforcers (0-2) en route to a 28-13 victory Saturday at Liversedge Field. Finally, that chip is off their shoulders.

“The way we went out last year was not how we wanted to go out,” said Bulldog running back Terry Alexander, who finished the game with 136 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

“They were the only team to beat us twice and, back when we started (this year), we said we were going to make up for that and we did.”

“I wasn’t here last year, but I knew it was important to the players,” said Bulldogs Head Coach Brian Haack. “To lose by one point on this field (last year) in front of their friends was a very dejecting experience for them and I know it was a big deal to them (to win today).”

Warm waters have major impact on local fish Onslow Offshore With Dr. Bogus

After a week of unusually hot temperatures, our surf temperatures broke 80 degrees for the first time this season, usually an honor we give to the Fourth of July. But, in the last few days, despite the heat, water temperatures have dropped back into the 70s with the surf Monday at Bogue Pier measuring 77 degrees.

So what gives?

The surface surf temperature rose quickly with several days of heat and calm winds. Those calm winds were a very welcome circumstance too. I’ve been telling people that it’s been windy since last November, and it has stayed by the way since.

The relatively calm winds allow the surface water to heat up quickly and stay stratified on the surface, but when the winds return - and they did from the southwest, we got a mixing of the warmer surface with the cooler water at depths, resulting in the cooling we saw. Of course, it also means that the deeper water warmed up a bit as well. Sort of a zero sum thing.

For your information, here is a partial list of some of the species

that have upper avoidance temperature of 80 degrees and above: red and black drum, sea mullet, spots, pompano, speckled trout, pompano, Spanish and king mackerel, barracuda, amberjack, Crevalle jack, dolphin fish and, topping the list, the amazing tarpon that can tolerate water temperatures up to 100 degrees. The tarpon can also gulp air so they can breathe and survive in hot, tepid low oxygenated summer water.

Anyway, how’s the fishing been?

This time of year, many count on the availability of nearshore Spanish mackerel.

There are still Spanish around, but the numbers are down a bit and the fish are tending to be smaller, but they are there, along with some bluefish. There are some small kings starting to show in the mix as well, especially over the reefs and rocks, around Beaufort Inlet and out to the Beaufort shipping channel and the sea buoy area.

By the way, the inshore cobia bite is essentially over for this year after another good season.

As long as we’re out off the beach, let’s continue with the near and offshore fish. The an black sea bass fishing bla recently reopened and rec there the e have been good catches ca t of sea bass in all the usual areas. Out of Beaufort, the sea bass Bea are from the northwest places l into the nearshore reefs and wrecks.

Out of Bogue, the same is true from Southeast Bottoms to the reefs and rocks just outside of Bogue Inlet. The only problem is, after a long recreational season closure, there is now a lot of fishing pressure on the sea bass and the reports are that they have been “hammered.”

Another nearshore and offshore species that can provide a great pull is the amberjack. Many of the usual locations out of Beaufort and Bogue Inlets have been fished hard lately, including the Hutton, 13-Buoy, and AR 330. There is less fishing pressure east of the Lookout Shoals, in places like the DWreck and Atlas Tanker.

We have hooked some nice fish around the Tanker jigging the Shimano Butterfly jigs. They do provide a great pull, and taste good as well.

Flounder fishing is still spotty. There are still lots of fish around the reefs and wrecks and some moving to the inlets the inside waters.

But, many of these fish are short and under the 15-inch minimum.

On the other hand, it looks like a good sheepshead season. They are being landed from Bogue Pier and many inside locations, like the Atlantic Beach and Morehead bridges, including the train trestle. To the west, the Emerald Isle Bridge

and the White Oak River bridges will provide good action. Fiddlers and sand fleas work great, but don’t forget live shrimp, which can give you better hookups since you don’t have to crunch the shell off like you do with the crabs.

I’ve heard several 10pounders landed. Now that’s a sheepshead.

There are also some trout and drum being landed in the creeks and marsh areas. Hoop Pole Creek has been one good spot to try. Speckled trout season reopened yesterday, but remember that there is a 14-inch minimum size and the bag limit is six trout per day, with no more than two over 24 inches.

The surf has been spotty, with occasional blues, Spanish and red drum early in the morning or in the evening. If you find a good hole, you should be able to pick up some nice sea mullet on sand fleas. Flounder have been few and mostly short lately.

Pier fishing includes catches of sea mullet, sheepshead, pompano, hogfish, small spots, small sharks, Spanish and blues early and late.

That goes for both Bogue Banks and Topsail piers.

Similarly, king mackerel fishing has been slow and disappointing on all those piers as well.

The Big Rock Blue Marlin tourney is this week. We will have to see how it goes. Good fishing out there.

Outspoken with Russell Varner

mean that title in all sincerity as well, in particular to the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros, neither of which was given the praise I think fully deserved for their actions during last week’s Major League Baseball Draft.

In case you haven’t heard for whatever reason, the Rangers and Padres both drafted paralyzed players, young men who are fighting just to be able to walk again. Chances are, they will never see action on a professional baseball field.

Regardless, Johnathan Taylor,

a University of Georgia baseball player who broke his neck in a collision during a March 6 game against Florida State, and Buddy Lamothe, a relief pitcher from San Jacinto College who was paralyzed in a recreational accident, got to feel the rush and excitement of being drafted that some of their collegiate counterparts felt.

The Rangers, who drafted Taylor, did so as a gesture to their first round draft pick, Zach Cone, who was not only Taylor’s teammate at Georgia, but was his best friend and the player Taylor collided with on that life-altering day.

Cone was touched by the move, mentioning how much it meant to both his family and Taylor’s. Taylor was in rehab when he got the call.

According to his mother, Taylor’s face “lit up” when he received the news. He was an honor student at Georgia and had a career .312 batting average with the Bulldogs.

Some said he had a chance to make it to the major leagues one day.

Rangers director of amateur scouting Kip Fagg said in a state-

ment released by the team that, “We would have drafted (Taylor) either way, regardless of any other circumstances involving his injury or Zach’s draft status.”

If this isn’t a heartwarming story, then I don’t know what one is.

Unfortunately, more details have yet to be released about Lamothe, but I’m sure his story is just as good as Taylor’s. Lamothe had a 0.86 earned run average this season before his injury.

Today in the sports’ world, where we the media focus more on negative stories like the Ohio State scandals, pending lockouts and LeBron James’ failure in the National Basketball Association Finals, it’s great to see a positive story like this in the news.

I’ve heard enough about the scandals. I want more stories like this, ones that show there is still good surprises off the field in the sports world.

Thank you to both Texas Rangers and Houston Astros for providing a storybook ending to such an uplifting tale.

(Right) Marlins’ players celebrate after winning the championship.

Marlins cruise to youth baseball title RUSSELL VARNER Sports editor

There’s a hot streak, in the zone and on fire. And then there’s what Marlins’ pitcher Mark Laquihon had at the Youth Baseball Championship game at the Tarawa Terrace Baseball Complex aboard tyhe Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune housing area, June 8.

Laquihon struck out 17 over 6 innings and allowed just one run, leading the Marlins to the youth baseball title with a 5-1 win over the A’s. For reference, there were 18 total outs made by the Marlins.

Laquihon struck out the side in five of the six innings as the A’s struggled to hit anything that he threw.

“Mark has pitched every game for us this season,” said Marlins’ Coach Sean Morgan.

“That kid came to play ball every single time.

He did a phenomenal job … He’s going to go into high school next year and I know he’s going to do fantastic things … (The A’s are) a good club too. They can hit the ball.”

The Marlins, the number two seed out of the National League, had their foot on the pedal from the start of the game and never let up. Following an RBI single by Christian Tsrilis in the bottom of the first inning, Anthony McCall launched a deep fly ball into left field that rolled all the way to the wall and allowed McCall to score on an two-run, inside-the-park home run, giving the Marlins a 3-0 lead.

“Considering they were about to be

disbanded because the coach that was going to take them was deployed … to see the ball team that we had win … (with) all those circumstances, it feels really good (to win),” said Morgan. “It’s awesome for the kids, too. They played so hard and the number one thing is everyone contributed to the team. Going from the first couple of days of practice to where they’re at now, I see improvement in every kid. I know that the kids had fun.”

The A’s were able to get on the board in the second inning, thanks to the hustle of their catcher, Dev Craig.

After he turned what should’ve been a single into a double, he took advantage of two wild pitches from Laquihon to score, getting a face full of dirt and chalk as he slid into home. The A’s would have other chances to score, but Laquihon repeatedly shut the door on any comeback attempt.

Despite the loss though, the A’s were as cheerful as the champions after the game, even dumping their coach, Keith Loupe, with a Gatorade cooler of water in celebration of their season.

“I don’t know if it could’ve ended on a higher note (for us),” Loupe said. “The most important thing for kids like this is to get out and have fun and every single one of those kids, all 11 of them, want to come back and play baseball. That’s a successful season to me, and seeing the smiles on their faces and being able to hold it down even if they’re down a few runs. I’m so proud of them … I have more faith than anything, that if these

guys have fun and they truly enjoy what they do, that they’re going to be successful regardless of what their (record) is.”

Like the Marlins, the A’s were a feel good story. They entered the playoffs with a 3-4 record and caught fire at the right time, beating everyone in their path. They were confident heading into the championship game, having beaten the Marlins earlier this year. Loupe said some of his players told him pregame that “even if they win tonight, we’re still 1-1.”

“I’ll miss seeing their faces at practice and when they look to you as a coach and they are like ‘Hey coach, teach me,’” Loupe added. “These kids, just all 11 of them,

they’ve been great and inspiring … It’s my pleasure to be able to coach kids year after year and teach and mentor them.”

In the end though, the A’s could not complete their dream season. Instead, it was the Marlins, who went from being nearly disbanded to league champs, who had their storybook ending. As they celebrated, Morgan noted the complete team effort it took for the team to get to where they did and how he knew that his team had the ability to be here from day one.

“I’m not trying to be arrogant, but I had a bunch of ball players,” he said. “I was very surprised with the talent I had. There was no doubt what they could do.”

Burger Battle leads Marines to Fun in the Sun CPL. MIRANDA BLACKBURN

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Single Marines donning flip flops, tanning lotion and swim wear attended Fun in the Sun, a Marine Corps Community Services event hosted at Onslow Beach aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Saturday.

Free burgers, snacks and beverages were available to any single Marines attending the event.

The event schedule included a horseshoe tournament, giant Jenga, musical chairs, a free throw shootout, four-man volleyball, three-on-three basketball, ultimate frisbee, rock climbing and the main attraction - the Burger Battle. “We put these events together for the (single) Marines,� said Chris Usry, Onslow Beach manager. “Even if it’s just a few people who get something out of it, we made their day better.�

Earlier this summer, each recreation center held their own burger battles. Marines competed to make the best burgers, with the winner going on to compete at Fun in the Sun. MCCS provided the meat and cooking utensils and Marines provided their own special ingredients and buns.

Each competitor was graded on aroma, presentation, taste and creativity.

Competing in the battle were Pfc. Terry Sansky, with the Student Administration Company, Headquarters and Support Battalion, School of Infantry East, who took second place at the Camp Geiger recreation center competition, against Lance Cpl. Ryley Poole, with 2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion, 2nd Marine Division and his partner Cpl. Kevin Roudin, with 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment.

Sansky came prepared with his own fresh vegetables, secret ingredients and sesame seed buns. Poole and Roudin, on the other hand, decided to join the competition the day of and had to work with what was provided.

Sansky infused his burgers with garlic, an array of other spices and a surprise center of gooey cheddar cheese, cooking his burgers to perfection.

With little to no cooking experience, Poole and Roudin had some help from the audience. Their burgers were tender and moist, but tasted very similar to their competitor’s.

When it came time for the panel of judges to make the call, the two teams were neck and neck, but Sansky ended up prevailing.

Poole and Roudin were awarded the People’s Choice Award. “(Sansky’s burger) was very unique – I’ve never had one like it,� said Sam O’Leary, Outdoor Recreation branch manager, Semper Fit Division, MCCS and a Photos by Cpl. Miranda Blackburn (Top) Lance Cpl. Ryley Poole, right, with 2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, and judge for the competition. “The other burger was your Cpl.

Camp Lejeune Bulldogs’ running back Shawn Mose (33) breaks through the Enforcers’ defense during the second quarter of the Bulldogs 28-13 victory over the Enforcers at Liversedge Field aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Saturday. The Bulldogs totaled 242 total yards in the victory.

(Above, right) Kevin Philo (99) takes down the Enforcers’ running back before he can even reach the line of scrimmage during the second half of the Bulldogs’ 28-13 victory. Philo and the Bulldogs’ defense shut down the Enforcers for the majority of the game.

BULLDOGS FROM 1B Led by running backs Terry Alexander, Shawn Mose (60 rushing yards) and Lynn Dunham (60 rushing yards) and quarterback Tony Camden, who one week earlier was a tight end on the team, the revamped offense put up 242 yards to go with the 28 points against the Enforcers, just one week removed from struggling to put up six against the Horizon.

The Bulldogs completely scraped their offensive scheme after their season-opening loss, switching it to a new, simpler spread offense. The change worked wonders for the team.

“What we did was we simplified some things,” said Haack. “We changed the blocking schemes, we changed the way we deliver the football to the quarterback and changed the fundamental way that we approach the defense. We simplified a lot of things and made things more realistic to the guys on our team.”

“We just stuck to it, put in the extra time to make the changes and it paid off,” added Camden. “We came out as a team and we won as a team.”

The first quarter started slow as both teams struggled offensively. Defenses dominated and prevented either offense from getting in any kind of groove. It looked like a possible repeat of the season-opener against the Horizon.

But that all changed on a second and 15 early in the second quarter, when Mose took a toss and gained a crucial first down to get the offense started. The drive would only net the Bulldogs three points thanks to a Tony Skrypek

field goal, but it would be a turning point that jumpstarted Lejeune’s offense.

“We had a lot of work to do on offense from last week,” said Alexander. “(The) defense held us down. This week, (the offense) made up for last week. That’s what we wanted to do.”

After the Enforcers took a 7-3 lead on the following drive, Lejeune began to take advantage of their team speed. Following a great kickoff return from Jason Johnson, the Bulldogs drove down to the Enforcers’ 1-yard-line thanks to two toss plays to Alexander and a wide receiver screen to David Garrett. Alexander did the dirty work and pounded the ball into the endzone. On the ensuing extra point attempt, the Bulldogs threw everyone for a loop, using a fake field goal run by Johnson to give Lejeune an 11-7 lead, one they would not relinquish.

The Bulldogs would add another Skyrpek field goal to take a 14-7 lead into the half. Lejeune would then get one touchdown from Alexander and another on a second fake field goal run from Johnson, who also had an interception in the victory, to give the Bulldogs a 28-7 lead late in the fourth quarter. The defense gave up a long touchdown pass in the closing minutes, but was spectacular overall. “(Defensive coordinator Leonard) Kuhn is the most experienced coach on our staff and he’s really a mentor to all of us,” said Haack. “We’re so blessed to have him. You can see that the defense is always prepared, and they are always flexible and they have multiple players who can play multiple positions. That doesn’t happen by accident. He’s a great leader and a great teacher and a great role model for all the coaches.”

Haack also mentioned how proud he was of the offense, particularly the play of Alexander and Camden.

“Tony Camden, a week ago today, was a tight end,” he said. “I told him, ‘Hey, we really need you to do this.h He wasn’t thrilled with it (at first), but he’s a team player and wants to do what the team needs, (anything) to help the team win. Terry Alexander is just a brilliant player. He’s a hard-working young guy and is very hard on himself when he feels he doesn’t live up to his own potential. His own quiet example and work ethic is an inspiration to his teammates. I feel very blessed to have him on this team.”

Now, the Bulldogs are ready to serve notice to the rest of the Gridiron Developmental Football League and to let everyone know last week was not a fluke. The Bulldogs will host the Carolina Bengals, who lost to the Carolina Brigade 18-6 last week. Lejeune will not be too confident going into the game though. They remember all too well the bitter taste of defeat and embarrassment that they suffered two weeks ago and plan on using that as motivation for the rest of the season.

“I think the humiliation we suffered (against the Horizon was key),” said Haack. “There are guys who came back with a fire in their eye that was nice to see. They really buckled down and worked hard. We did extra work in practice this week because we were determined to not allow ourselves to be humiliated again.”

“There (are) four individuals right here, but these four individuals can’t do what they do without the team,” added defensive lineman Ryan “Meat” Holdaway during a postgame interview. “We didn’t win. The team won. Teams win and lose together.”

Main gate to see temporary lane reductions SGT. THOMAS J. GRIFFITH Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

The front gate of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is scheduled to receive much needed improvements the weekends of June 24 and July 8, 15 and 22 from 7 p.m. on Fridays to 5 a.m. on Mondays.

Unfortunately, the construction requires speed and lane reductions

between the main gate’s canopy and Holcomb Boulevard’s intersection with Brewster Ave. Holcomb’s right two outbound lanes will be closed the first weekend, followed by the left two outbound lanes the weekend of July 8. The lanes will begin tapering down on Holcomb Boulevard before reaching Brewster Avenue. It will open back up after the work zone, just before the bypass. Brewster will lose one left turn lane during

those times as well.

For the July 15 weekend, Holcomb’s right two inbound lanes will be closed, followed by the left two inbound the weekend of July 22. Travelers should expect the lanes to narrow after entering the front gate. Lanes will re-open before Brewster Avenue.

Normal weekday travel will not be affected.

Ensign Jason Spotts, a project engineer with the Officer in

Charge of Construction, Marine Corps Installations East, said traffic will not be interrupted over the July 4 weekend.

The Piney Green gate will commence 24-hour operations on those weekends to alleviate congestion. Signs will be in place to notify drivers.

“We need to perform the work and we need to keep Holcomb Boulevard open during the week,” said Spotts. “This leaves us to do

it on the weekend when traffic volumes are significantly lower.

We appreciate everyone’s patience while we add these needed improvements to the base. Even though we feel the stresses now, all of it will pay off later.”

For information and updates, visit the base’s website, lejeune. usmc.mil, or facebook page, www.facebook.com/camp. lejeune.

Changes coming to Wallace Creek Bridge LANCE CPL. VICTOR BARRERA

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Construction taking place from the Wallace Creek Bridge to Cross Street will be affecting the west side of McHugh Boulevard aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune until early September.

Currently, barricades are in place blocking off the running trail, forcing service members and civilians who use that side of the road for walking or running to cross the street and use the east side.

“This is for the construction going on for (Building 24),” said Joseph Wade, an engineering technician with the Officer in Charge of Construction, Marine Corps Installations East. “The sidewalk will be closed until around Sept. 1.”

According to Wade, base officials believe the road construction will not cause traffic delays. Building 24 construction, which will last for about two and a half years, will have no effect on traffic whatsoever.

“The only thing people need to look out for are the safety signs and barricades,” said Wade.

Construction workers plan to add a third shoulder lane for access to building 24 once it is completed.

The shoulder is slated to be constructed halfway between Cross Street and the bridge. Although construction work won’t affect the whole road, construction workers are ensuring the continued safety of MCB Camp Lejeune personnel.

Col. Daniel Lecce, commanding officer of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, speaks to service members and their families about the details of the upcoming school year during a town hall meeting at the Russell Marine and Family Services Center aboard the base, June 7.

CPL. JONATHAN G. WRIGHT Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

D

ue to the devastation of the tornado that struck the housing community of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s Tarawa Terrace area the night of April 16, TTI Primary School was battered by the high winds and debris, ultimately making it unsuitable for student use. The score of attending students were left no choice but to fall back on the TTII Elementary School to finish schooling for the year.

“Our community really shined during that period,” said Col. Daniel Lecce, commanding officer of MCB Camp Lejeune. “Everyone stepped up and made it possible

to move 160-plus students in two days to another school to finish the school year.”

But what does the future hold for the TTI Primary School building and where are the displaced children going to start the next school year?

These, among a score of other questions and topics, were what Lecce addressed with the service members and their families during a town hall meeting at the Russell Marine and Family Services Center aboard the base, June 7.

Aside from the main focus of the evening – the plans and propositions for the upcoming school year for the displaced children – Lecce spoke and addressed questions and concerns about the multitude of base construction projects, the Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune expansion and upcoming budget cuts

slated for the next fiscal year.

“We’re going to have to cope with some hardships throughout the next few years,” said Lecce.

“But just hang on and bear with it, because after three years this base will be looking phenomenal.”

As for the students who were attending the TTI Primary School, they will now be attending the Heroes Elementary School, sitting off of Brewster Boulevard on mainside MCB Camp Lejeune. Students who fall inside a section of Berkley Manor, north Paradise Point, Knox Cove and Midway Park housing areas, mostly third through fifth grade, will go to the Heroes school as well.

Lecce also went into intricate detail on the workings of the new school year, including the modified bus schedules and times, leading faculty

assignments, the possibility of upcoming middle school interscholastic sports and fall-back plans in response to any changes in projected dates. As it stands, the start of the school year will be Aug. 25 for all schools, excluding Heroes.

“I came for some clarification on what was going to be happening with the upcoming school year,” said Coty Jackson, a Marine spouse in attendance. “Col. Lecce is very open to what the families have to say and addresses their concerns and complaints. They don’t fall on deaf ears too – in the past town hall meetings, Col. Lecce emailed me personally to answer questions I had brought up. The base is very ready and willing to help these families with what they may bring to the table.”

That is what pleases most attendants of these

town hall meetings; Lecce is flanked by men and women representing the various topics he speaks about during these town hall meetings.

Every single participant who has a question or concern is heard and given the proper answer, or answered at a later time if the information is not readily available. Such is the case with this town hall meeting, where the question and answer portion of the night spanned nearly two hours - each individual’s concern was addressed.

For those not able to attend the town hall meeting regarding either the plans for the upcoming school year or the base construction projects, visit the MCB Camp Lejeune website at lejeune.usmc.mil for details as well as a link to the Department of Defense Education Activity website for the base schools.

Businesses still need to file appeal to be lifted off “off-limits” after NC Spice ban SGT. BRYAN A. PETERSON Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

The recent North Carolina bill banning synthetic drugs, popularly known as Spice or bath salts, on June 1, doesn’t necessarily mean good news for stores on the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River off-limits list, which restricts service members entering such establishments.

The bill, North Carolina Senate Bill 7/ House Bill 13, outlaws selling, possessing and manufacturing the “fake” drugs. The drugs gained popularity at the end of calendar year 2009 across the United States and caused near death experiences in some cases. The drug, popular among adolescents and young adults, causes a marijuana-like high which is undetectable on drug

urinalysis tests – arguably one of the main reasons why it was popular.

Area businesses that, at the time, legally sold these drugs were not necessarily put on the off-limits list when word got out about the dangers of these products. Rather, if the businesses sold these products to service members and were caught doing so, they became off limits.

Marine Corps Forces Command Order 5355.1, issued earlier this year, forbids Marines and sailors to use, possess, distribute or sell these substances.

James Rohn, the operations officer for the Marine Corps Installations East Inspector General’s office, said before businesses were put on the off-limits list, base officials gave them a chance by making an effort to warn them not to sell these products to service members.

“We literally went business to business to hand deliver letters warning them that service members are not allowed to use, possess and distribute these products,” Rohn said. “If the businesses were selling the product, but not to service members, we couldn’t do anything. But, if they were caught doing so, we would have sent them to the Armed Forces Disciplinary Control Board and recommend them to be put on the list.”

The Armed Forces Disciplinary Control Board is comprised of all the tenant commands aboard the base, and its mission is to advise and make recommendations to the MCB Camp Lejeune commanding officer and the CO of MCAS New River concerning the correction of conditions which may adversely affect the health, safety, morals, welfare, morale or discipline of

military personnel.

Stores that have sold these drugs to service members are not the only ones on the list. Establishments that have also shown shady business practices, such as price gouging or prostitution in gentlemen’s clubs, are also on the list.

Every quarter, according to Rohn, the board will hold hearings to let the businesses plead their cases and the board will make its decision whether or not to lift them from the off-limits list.

“We thought after the (North Carolina Spice ban) took effect, we’d see a lot of these businesses on the off-limits list petition,” said Rohn. “One thing they should know, however, because the ban is now in place, that doesn’t mean they can be taken off the list. Put it this way, they weren’t automatically put on the

list and they won’t automatically be taken off.”

Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert O’Dwyer, investigations officer for the Criminal Investigation Division, Marine Corps Police Department, Department of Public Safety, has been involved with a myriad of drug-related cases and warns service members that the off-limits roster is still in effect and anyone caught will be subject to disciplinary action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

“Anyone caught would be in violation of a lawful order under Article 92 of the UCMJ,” said O’Dwyer. “Depending on the command, the service member could receive a dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances and confinement for two years. Bottom line, service members need to stay away from the off-limit establishments.”

2nd MLG encourages reading while having fun PFC. FRANKLIN MERCADO 2nd Marine Logistics Group

O

utdoor activities, cartoons and toys are childhood pastimes that we’ve all enjoyed at one point in our lives, whether it was 20 years ago or today.

The 2nd Marine Logistics Group is pushing to make reading a part of that list.

The MLG hosted a book reading open to all of its Marines and families at Marston Pavilion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C., recently.

“We were trying to come up with an idea that would be fun, promote education and bring families together,” said Suzane Dana, whose spouse is Brig. Gen. Michael G. Dana, the 2nd MLG commanding general. “As we were in the process of putting the event together, this book was brought to our attention. I read the book

and fell in love with it.”

Event organizers chose “The Little Marine and the Flag” written by Carissa J. Marine. The book is about a young boy who watches a flag raising with his father, a Marine, and is taught three ways to respect the nation’s flag.

Carissa Marine read the book to a room filled with children ranging in ages from two months old to 11.

They all gathered in a half circle and participated in an interactive reading session.

During the reading, children asked questions, laughed and read along in their own books. After the children finished the book, they immediately began arts and crafts.

The children in attendance were able to make postcards and American flags out of hand paint for loved ones who are deployed.

“I think the event was great, the parents and children were all having a good time,” said Kim Cooley, the 2nd MLG

family readiness officer.

“The success of this event was so important. Now we can move forward in doing this once a quarter.”

With future book readings in the works, the next goal for the MLG is to do this event for different age groups to enjoy.

“We want to do this for all ages,” said Cooley. “We want to get teenagers here and even young adults. We want people of all ages to enjoy reading books.”

Though future plans are already in progress, the day belonged to Carissa Marine, who wrote the book when she was pregnant with one of her three children.

She was honored that the unit chose her book for the event.

“I’ve done other book signings and readings, but this one was special,” said Marine, who is part of a military family herself. “Especially because I’m doing it for Marines and their families, it felt good to be here.”

As the event drew to a close, families exited the pa-

“These families will go home and read this book together. That was the goal,”

said Dana. “That made the event worth it and that makes us more excited about the next one.”

More facilities, renovations coming for MCCS LANCE CPL. VICTOR BARRERA

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

I

n late 2009, the Marine Corps accomplished its Department of Defense mandated end strength goal of 202,000 Marines two years ahead of schedule. While a successful accomplishment, this also put a strain on base resources across Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

Overcrowded gyms, longer waiting lists to have a child accepted into a base child development center and less room in on-base lodging were just some of the issues base officials were dealing with.

Now, Marine Corps Community Services aboard MCB Camp Lejeune has

spent more than $100 million on a variety of improvements all to ensure that they keep providing the best service possible.

The Wallace Creek Fitness Center, which broke ground December 2010, is just one of the many projects MCCS has in place to accommodate the everincreasing population. The center will be a 100,000-square-foot facility with a 25-meter indoor pool, a stationary bike room, group exercise classroom, locker rooms and many more amenities.

“It can also serve as a destructive weather shelter,” said Joe Walbert, the director of the Facilities and Maintenance Division, MCCS. “Once completed in spring 2012, it will also have an indoor

running track, juice bar, racquetball, basketball and volleyball courts.”

The skeet range, which is currently located on Parachute Tower Road, is also being moved to a new location near Old Sawmill Road. The new site will have eight skeet ranges, two trap stations, a fixed distance archery range as well as a new retail and administration facility.

Improvements are already in place and in the future the skeet range will also house a 3-D archery range and a paintball facility.

“We had to move the skeet range to this area because the current location is the site of a new (bachelor enlisted quarters),” said Walbert. “We expect the first phase of this project to be completed by August of this year and have the overall project done by December.”

For service members who frequent Onslow Beach, MCCS is demolishing and rebuilding the Onslow Beach Marine Mart, but not until the summer season is over. The new Marine Mart is slated for completion in time for the 2012 beach season.

French Creek’s Marine Mart is also on the list of buildings to be renovated.

Improvements to the store include an additional 4,500 square feet, more parking and an improved traffic flow around the facility. Courthouse Bay is also slated to receive a new 5,000-square-foot Marine Mart which will come equipped with gas pumps and a car wash. Scheduled completion date for the Courthouse Bay Marine Mart is December 2011.

With all the improvements going on that will affect Marines and those who call MCB Camp Lejeune home, MCCS BRIDGE FROM 1C new lane is slated to be completed midAugust and workers plan on finishing the new running road by September.

has not forgotten about their visiting friends and families. The Lejeune Inn, which many visitors to the base stay in while visiting family and friends, is also being upgraded.

“We’re going to be making a new, three-story, 50-room facility,” said Walbert. “We’re still in the design phase but we expect to start construction by the fall of this year.”

Many of the improvements were implemented to make life easier for service members and dependents, and young children are no exception.

“We have five child development centers under construction: two on Brewster Boulevard, one at Tarawa Terrace and the one at Midway Park which will be complete by September and October of this year,” said Walbert. “April of next year we are expecting to complete the fifth CDC center at Courthouse Bay.” Each CDC will be approximately 30,000 square feet and will have a kitchen, laundry and classroom area. Each center will also be able to handle more than 290 children.

“There’s a waiting list for families who want to enroll their children into CDCs,” said Walbert. “Having these new facilities will help reduce our waiting list.”

Walbert added that this is all to help ease the burdens put on many facilities when the Marine Corps met its end strength goal.

“With all this, we’ll be able to provide a service to more Marines, sailors and their families,” said Walbert. “We’re here to take care of service members and their families and will ensure that we continue to provide the best service possible.”

row the road but will not affect the traffic flow,” said Wade. “We just urge runners who use that road to be aware of the construction and be prepared to cross over to the other side of the street.”

Drainage pipe to be replaced near Tarawa Terrace II gate PFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

North Carolina Department of Transportation has coordinated with Naval Facilities Engineering Command aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune to begin work on replacing a drainage pipe outside of the Tarawa Terrace II gate on North Carolina Highway 24 and Western Boulevard. The project is slated to begin June 20.

A 42-inch drainage pipe will replace the old 30-inch pipe to help reduce flooding due to peak rain.

The NCDOT has agreed to perform work after peak hours to minimize traffic congestion. During all periods of construction, there will be at least one lane of traffic open for both incoming and outgoing vehicles. Lane closure for outbound traffic is scheduled for June 21 and inbound lanes will be closed June 22. During the fifth day, work will be geared toward road repair.

Appropriate warning signs and cones will be placed for diverting traffic at the TT II gate entrance and will be handled by NCDOT and base traffic management.

The Provost Marshal’s Office said the work schedule should not adversely impact emergency vehicle response times and school bus schedules.

Construction is estimated to last five days from start to finish, and the only factor that may cause a delay in construction is inclement weather.

“We’ve had constant improvements with water systems throughout the base,” said Timothy McCurry, Marine Corps liaison with Government and External Affairs, MCB Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River. “We had some flooding problems at the TT2-Western Boulevard intersection, due to the peak rain over the past couple of years. It floods frequently so NCDOT is going to replace a drainage pipe with a larger pipe to alleviate the flooding.”

The NCDOT is absorbing the entire cost of the project, and it’s an opportunity for the base to make an improvement.

O

nce upon a time, people loved to read.

Young and old alike would escape into the pages, transform into knights or princesses and travel to places no plane could ever take them.

Today, technological distractions scream for an audience’s attention, and many books sit unread while worlds go undiscovered.

However, the heroes from the Harriotte B. Smith Library aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, along with other Department of Defense libraries on 270 military installations, are riding in on their white horses to encourage families to return to reading with the summer reading program, “A Midsummer Knight’s Dream.”

The theme for this year lends itself to medieval imaginations, and the library is ready to deliver daring adventures during its kickoff event, Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m.

Farmers’ market

offers healthy options I 4D THURSDAY JUNE 16, 2011

“Come one, come all, as we travel back in time to the days of knights and damsels, kings and queens, fairies and dragons,” said Judy Bradford, library branch manager. “We have programs, activities and books for readers of all ages to make merry and keep reading skills sharp over the summer.”

The free event, open to authorized patrons, will feature many themed activities such as making dragons and creating coats of arms.

Proving chivalry is not dead, performers from Barony of Raven’s Cove, the Society of Creative Anachronism, will impress readers with medieval demonstrations, including sword fights.

“Our group studies and takes part in a variety of activities, including combat, archery, costuming, cooking, metalwork, woodworking, music, dance, calligraphy, fiber arts, and much more,” said Diana Fillpot, marketing assistant with Marine Corps Community Services and president of Barony of Raven’s Cove. “We are a family-friendly group and enjoy sharing our hobby with others.”

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.

Audiences ‘Scream 4’ more suspense, surprise Now playing at Midway Park “SCREAM 4” (R) “Scream 4” is another rendition in the popular franchise and reunites much of the original cast that started the cult series in 1996.

Neve Campbell (“Relative Strangers,” “The Outsider”) stars again as Sidney Prescott, who is now the author of a selfhelp book, and returns to Woodsboro on the last leg of her book tour.

Ten years have passed, and Sidney, the lone survivor of a bunch of grisly murders, has put herself back together with the help of her writing.

While back home, she reconnects with Gale and Dewey, who are now married.

Courtney Cox (TV’s “Friends”) returns as Gale Weathers, a journalist, and David Arquette (“The Land of the Astronauts”) is Sheriff Dewey Riley.

She also reunites with her teenage niece Jill, played by Emma Roberts (“Hotel for Dogs”).

However, as bad fortune has it, Sidney’s appearance also brings about the return of the Ghostface Killer, who begins to stalk Sydney and her friends.

Now, Sidney, Gale and Dewey, along with Jill and her friends, and the whole town of Woodsboro are in danger.

Joining the only remaining old cast members are newbies: Hayden Panettiere (“I Love You Beth Cooper”) as Kirby, Jill’s

best friend; Anna Paquin (“Piano”) as Rachel; Kristen Bell (“Burlesque”) as Chloe; Rory Culkin (“The Zodiac”) as Charlie Walker; and Adam Brody (“Cop Out”) as Deputy Hoss.

Wes Craven (“Nightmare on Elm Street,” “The Hills Have Eyes”), the horror master, directed this sequel from a script by the series creator Kevin Williamson.

“Scream 4” brings a lot of flashbacks from the old films and little suspense.

This nostalgic slasher film most likely is intended for a whole new generation of fans and brings nothing new.

Now playing in Jacksonville “X-MEN: FIRST CLASS” (PG-13) “X-Men: First Class” is a prequel to the popular X-Men film series and the fifth installment.

The stylish story is set in 1963, during the Cuban missile crisis, and follows the early friendship and fallout between Professor X and Magneto and the origin of their group, the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants.

Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Eric Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, there were two young men discovering their powers for the first time.

Before becoming sworn enemies, the two were best friends, working together to uncover the

scope of their superpowers, and working with other mutants to prevent nuclear armageddon.

James McAvoy (“The Conspirator,” “Wanted,” “Atonement”) stars as the young professor Charles Xavier, aka Professor X, the telepathic leader and founder of the X-Men, who begins to discover other mutants and enemies.

He starts up a school and later assembles a team of humans with superhuman abilities.

Among the team is Eric Lensherr, played by Michael Fassbender (“Jonah Hex,” “300,” “Inglourious Basterds”), Charles’ best friend, leader and founder of the Brotherhood of Mutants, who later becomes Magneto, his future archenemy.

In the process of working together, conflicts of opinions create a rivalry and a grave rift begins the eternal war between Magneto’s brotherhood

Everyone has a very unique relationship and experience with their father because every father is different and each person is unique. I have four daughters, and I think it is fair to say I have a different relationship with each of them.

There is so much that goes into a relationship, and when we reflect on that relationship with the one we call dad, we each have a different experience. More importantly, from the perspective of faith, that experience affects how we perceive God because God is Father. Scripture sometimes has us call him Abba, which is a more endearing term, maybe like dad or papa.

For those whose father was caring and nurturing, so is their perspective of God as a loving and merciful divinity. He is Abba. Those whose father was strong and silent, so might their understanding of God be, that of a transcendent, yet all-powerful being. And there are those awful cases in which the father was mean and abusive, and this can distort one’s relationship with God, turning him into a punitive and vengeful force. This is not Abba.

Dads are not abusive and mean, though sadly some fathers may be.

I guess we could say, the better the father, the greater the reflection of God. It is a tremendous responsibility that we fathers have, not merely to be a parent, but to affect our children’s relationship with God for life.

Therefore, quite obviously, a father ought to always seek to be good as our Father in heaven is good. And good means so much. Sometimes the good thing is to be nice, sometimes strict. Sometimes it is good to be strong, sometimes vulnerable.

But good always means to be motivated by love.

Being a parent is a gift freely given by God. We are entrusted by him with the responsibility, privilege and honor of parenthood, fathers and mothers alike. Faith gives us an opportunity for a renewed relationship with our Father God and a new beginning as parents. Renewed because our relationship with God often needs to be transformed from what might have been a less than perfect relationship with our fathers. It begins with acceptance and moves to forgiveness and then to responsibility for our own lives.

We all fall short of the goodness of God, whether parent or child, or as the case may be, both. As such, we need to move beyond our human constructs, beyond our human fallibility. This means we need to accept forgiveness and move on, as well as give forgiveness and move on.

What is clear is that our experience with our human father is a central to our spiritual lives. God the Father loves all his children, as they are and wherever they have been. He wants us to know him as the kind, nurturing and loving Father that he is.

If you had a bad experience with your father, or do not have a relationship with God your Father, I urge you to seek the counsel and guidance from one of the many chaplains here to help you in your spiritual journey.

New to Me with Amy Binkley Carolina Living editor

I am a logophile, and I’m not ashamed.

Before anyone becomes concerned, a logophile is just a fancy way of saying a lover of words.

I happily admit that I adore definitions, synonyms, antonyms and alliteration. I enjoy putting nouns, verbs and adjectives together like a puzzle in order to make a sentence not only appealing, but memorable.

The power of life and death is in the words we say. They can lift up, cut down, empower or destroy.

The Marine Corps has so many words it has to make acronyms, which sometimes become words, or even phrases, themselves. Everyone remembers JJ DID TIE BUCKLE, right?

There is no escape.

Unless you are a robot running on binary codes, words are a significant part of your life.

During a conversation with a certain officer recently, I was reminded of the importance of words, and the actions that accompany them.

I honestly couldn’t tell you what sparked the discussion, but in the middle of our ordinary conversation, I was not only surprised, but convicted. “No one says ‘Thank you’ anymore,� he said.

He went on to explain how every day, common courtesies have become a thing of the past, retired like 8-tracks and land-line phones.

Though every once in a while he is pleasantly surprised by a note or a sincere expression of gratitude, more often than not he is disappointed by the lack of respect evident not only in the younger generations but by peers who have fallen by the wayside of Manners Row. He called it, “The death of civility.�

I wish I had worn steel-toed boots that day because unbeknownst to him, he was stepping all over my toes.

My mind wondered to a stack of unwritten thank you notes sitting in my desk, embellished with my name that I’ve had since I graduated high school. My 10-year reunion is later this year.

There are dozens of people who blessed me with gifts who I never found the time to personally thank.

I had e-mails to check, the internet to surf and more exciting things with which to occupy myself.

They knew I was thankful, I told myself.

They don’t need me to tell them.

Looking back, I realize how much I had conformed.

I was a casualty of common culture.

I am not alone in the metaphorical graveyard.

Putting the blame on our parents or teachers or other major influences in our lives for not teaching us the Emily Post handbook for etiquette would be too easy – and entirely incorrect.

No one determines how you behave except you. Emotions can be influenced, thoughts can be turned, but reactions are a personal choice.

So if you are old enough to be reading this, it is time for some lessons in manners. Believe me when I say I’m learning too.

Respect and honor are defining qualities of service members.

Certain things are required, such as salutes and addressing people by their ranks, but others are unnecessary actions that, when performed, not only display your regard but your character.

For example, most of us are bombarded by e-mails every day.

Our inbox can become a digital war zone at times, flooding us with information overload.

It’s easy to read, retain and act on the content given to you, but the true test comes in acknowledging the sender.

While the world will not stop turning if they don’t hear back from you, your relationship with

them will be improved by a simple reply.

I don’t know anyone who likes being ignored.

Manners shouldn’t be reserved just for work.

I would almost guarantee that by showing your appreciation to family members or friends your relationships will improve dramatically.

People like to know their efforts are being noticed.

Your may not have to have a billboard screaming your appreciation, but a sticky note thanking her for the five hundredth meal she’s prepared for you will make your house a happy one.

When your husband comes in from mowing the yard and his odor could win him the smelliest person of the year award, don’t ignore him until he gets a shower.

Tell him you appreciate all the hard work he does because you certainly wouldn’t want to do it.

Saying thank you is crucial in bringing back to life those of us who have suffered mortal wounds in the world of manners.

Though it is just the tip of the iceberg of proper behaviors, it is an excellent start.

Thank you may not seem like much, but sometimes, it’s just enough.

Healthy options offered to military families AMY BINKLEY

ealth-conscious and cost-cutting military families, worry no more.

Keeping your crew on a wise diet without busting the bank just got easier.

Hundreds of local citizens, including several service members, searched for the homegrown goodness of fresh fruits and vegetables at the Onslow County Farmers’ Market’s summer festival in Jacksonville, N.C., Saturday.

The laid-back environment offered families a time to slow down from the hustle and bustle of the week and return to a simpler lifestyle while they shopped.

“People come and they’re not in a hurry,” said Larry Kent, the coordinator of the farmers’ market for North Carolina Cooperative Extension. “They see neighbors, friends. You just don’t get that at the grocery store.”

As the local farmers enter the height of vegetable season, the plethora of greens gave guests plenty to choose from, including squash, cucumbers and radishes.

“In spite of a very serious drought, our produce farmers are going above and beyond to make sure they have products to provide,” Kent said.

Finding and buying fresh fruits and vegetables without breaking the budget can be tough in today’s economic turmoil.

However, Kent was happy to inform many of the families, military and otherwise, that the market is eligible for the Special Supplemental Nutrition

Program for Women, Infants, and Children and the Electronic Benefit Transfer Program.

“The Onslow County Farmers’ Market is one of 25 in the entire state that is WIC and EBT approved,” he said. “We’re fortunate that we have gained that eligibility.”

Those who have applied and qualified for the programs at the Tarawa Terrace office or the health department can use their benefits and assistance at the market just as they would at the commissary or grocery store.

The parking lot wasn’t packed just because of competitive prices. The farmers’ market also invited people to have some fun.

“We like to support local farmers because we eat a lot of vegetables,” said Kasi Florez, a military spouse, “We’ve become friends with a lot of the vendors, but there’s also a petting zoo, and lots of things for the kids to do.”

The zoo was a popular stop for the young visitors who stopped to say hello to the friendly sheep, the spitting llama and the donkey with an affinity for a flower-decorated hat.

The reptile exhibit was also a hot spot for the kids who crowded around the case of an 18-foot long, 180-pound reticulated python named “Big Mama.”

The exhibit also had turtles, geckos and a chameleon.

“We make it a point not to charge for the hay rides, petting zoo and the stuff for the kids because we want to generate a spirit of community,” said Kent.

While the children were enjoying their free fun, adults took their time to peruse the local goods.

“All of this was picked either this morning or last

night,” said Cynthia Figueroa.

Figueroa, who is the mother of a Marine, is thankful service members have another option for buying produce. “(Marines) come from all over the country, and this is familiar to some people,” she said. “It’s something for them to do, and it helps them eat healthier.”

Staff Sgt. Brandon Meng, a patient with the Wounded Warrior Battalion, agreed the farmers’ market reminded him a lot of home.

“I was raised where we grew our own crops,” he said. “I know what it’s like to grow and pick it. I’m trying to raise my kids in the same kind of environment.”

Three quarters of the market becomes home to farmers selling their crops every Saturday, but the rest of the space is taken by local craft vendors who have the opportunity to show off their products.

Mechelle Lugwig, a military family member, had her handmade jewelry on display at the summer festival and has been participating at the farmers’ market for years.

“I like the family-feeling atmosphere of this market,” she said.

Though her sale items are different, Lugwig has high admiration for the local farmers.

“In this day and age, everyone is looking to eat healthy things,” she noted. “This is local, homegrown food, and when I say it’s local, I mean out of their own backyards.”

People looking to visit the Onslow County Farmers’ Market can find it on Highway 258 on Saturdays and behind Dick’s Sporting Goods on Western Boulevard in Jacksonville, N.C., Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Service members and their families viewed and critiqued a variety of art during the third annual Art Show hosted by Tarawa Terrace Community Center, Marine Corps Community Services aboard the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune housing area, June 11.

Masterpieces were submitted by service members, families and patrons, between May 31 and June 7.

There were 129 works of art from 50 artists displayed on walls at the event from 5 to 7 p.m.

Drawings, paintings, photographs and crafts were entered by age category. There were multiple categories for all ages, including a baby’s category for children ages 3 and under.

This year an additional category was available for adults ages 18 and older, allowing everyone to submit work regardless of age.

“We really wanted to get the entire community involved,” said Lorraine Fuller, a recreational specialist with TTCC, MCCS. “This was the first year that we opened the event to adults.”

Marine Corps Community Services also judged the art and awarded ribbons to first, second and third place winners within each category and age group.

Ribbon winners will also have their work displayed in the front walls of the community center until June 18.

Participants ate snacks and sipped beverages provided by the center as they walked alongside family and friends, pointing at their own pieces and complimenting others.

“I was amazed by the art,” said Fuller. “Behindthe-door artists have an outlet to show their talent and it’s really great to see.”

A wide range of original styles and color schemes kept the eyes of many opened and focused between frames.

The art provided visual entertainment for many attendees and participating artists seemed very enthusiastic to share their work.

“I love art because you get to express your emotions and feelings,” said Felicity Grenado, a dependent who submitted art for the showcase. “Mandala is one of my favorite types of art. I think everyone should try it. Some kids don’t know how to express themselves with words, so art gives them a chance to do that.”

amily emergencies can happen while service members are deployed.

During these times of crisis, American Red Cross Armed Forces Emergency Services keeps military personnel in touch with their families by delivering urgent messages – a service provided through the organization’s worldwide network of staff and volunteers.

There is now one single number, 877-272-7337, to call and send an urgent message to a service member.

This is the telephone number currently available worldwide.

Procedures for overseas calling will remain the same, with the option to call the new number directly, access the number through a military operator or call the local Red Cross station.

Even if service members call an old number, the Red Cross staff will still be able to serve them immediately.

“We’re just trying to streamline our business to give the best service that we can possibly give,” said Jocelyn Townsend, American Red Cross senior station manager aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. “They should see faster service because now it’s one main number, whereas before they had

to call their local Red Cross.”

With the new service in place, the Red Cross has also set up four different call centers compared to the two they had in place before.

From start to finish, a service member should receive their Red Cross message within 24 to 48 hours from the time their family member makes the call. These urgent messages can keep service members in touch with their families, relaying important news.

The Red Cross provides these services to service members and their immediate family members.

“If it’s an aunt, uncle or cousin, we’ll have to have extenuating circumstances,” said Townsend.

“What that means is there’s something that would require them to come home, whether their aunt raised them or their cousin lived in the home with the service member for an indefinite amount of time.

Once those requirements are met, then we can do a Red Cross message.”

Communication services are also available to Department of Defense civilian contract workers working on military installations overseas.

If family members are in a situation where they cannot reach their deployed service member directly and need to send an emergency message, they should have the following information readily available: full name, rank, branch of service, Social Security number of the service member, military address of the service member, and information about the deployed unit and location of the rear detachment unit.

“If we have all the correct information, we can easily get verification,” said Townsend. “That’s our job. We’re here to provide emergency messaging and valid, verified messages.”

The changes allow local Red Cross chapters to provide vital services with a personal touch, including hospital programs and outreach to reserve families, by freeing up resources from call-intake functions.

According to a release from the American Red Cross aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, “The improvements we are making today are the foundation for continued quality service delivery to our men and women in uniform and their families.”

If your heart yearns for the good old days when people sat on their front porch and everyone knew their neighbors, pack up the family for the eighth annual Blueberry Festival in Burgaw, N.C., Saturday.

The festival, located a short drive from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, is a community celebration of the tasty treat that has put them on the map.

The citizens greet guests like long-lost family members and invite them to be a part of the party, even if only for a few hours.

With school out for summer, the free event is the perfect day-trip for military families.

Leslie Carroll, a military spouse from MCB Camp Lejeune, attended the festival last year.

“I love finding events outside of Jacksonville that give you a glimpse of Eastern North Carolina,” she said.

“It’s something fun and different to do on a weekend.”

Volunteers will be heading up at least 20 stage events, including live entertainment and an antique car show. A street fair with more than 100 tents will tempt visitors with crafts, clothing and other items.

There will also be a 5K run, a barbecue cook off and, of course, blueberries as far as the eyes can see.

More than 30,000 people attend the festival every year, and the local folks always look forward to showing service members and their families the southern hospitality for which they’re known.

With the rising summer temperatures, the North Carolina Blueberry Association has asked that no pets be brought to the event for their own safety.

The baron and baroness of Barony of Raven’s Cove, the Society of Creative Anachronism, will make an entrance at the Summer Reading Program kickoff event at the Harriotte B. Smith Library aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Saturday.

LIBRARY FROM 1D Bradford is sure the event will be one to remember.

“They’ll talk as of that time period,” she said.

“Everything will be traditional medieval garb.”

This is the second year the DOD has implemented the worldwide program, which is intended to give military children consistency during a typically busy moving season.

Ideally, children will be able to start the program at one base and smoothly transition to wherever they are relocated.

“We hope our children will read for the fun of it – now and throughout their lives,” said Dr. Beth Barton, MCCS MCB Camp Lejeune’s Manager of the Personal and Professional Development program.

“Our summer reading program is an investment in lifelong learning for our children – something every conscientious parent can appreciate and actively encourage.”

Research has shown there is a significant loss of literacy during the summer when children don’t actively stay engaged with reading.

“Studies indicate students who read recreationally out-performed those who don’t,” noted Barton.

“Students read more when

they can choose materials based on their own interests.”

The workers at the Harriotte B. Smith library couldn’t agree more, which is why they allowed the members of the Teen Advisory Board to choose what events their age group would be doing this summer with the reading program.

“They have a voice and we take their opinions seriously,” said Bradford.

“They don’t see the library as a place to avoid but rather a place they want to go.”

Members of the TAG group let their imaginations go wild and came up with events such as “A Midsummer Night’s Murder,” a murder-mystery game and an Alice in Wonderland Tea Party, both of which will take place later in the summer.

The adult group already got a head start on their program when they took a trip to Tryon Palace earlier this month.

Children, teenagers and adults are all encouraged to participate in the SRP, and to make things more interesting, the library will be offering prizes to those who read a certain amount of minutes throughout the summer.

There are three levels

readers can reach: Level one with 180 minutes, level two with 600 minutes and level three with 1,500 minutes.

The DOD is also throwing in an incentive to entice people to get involved.

Delta Vacations is sponsoring the SRP and will offer two vacation packages for four to any Delta Vacations US48 destination.

The prize includes roundtrip coach airfare for four and hotel accommodations at a participating Delta Vacations hotel.

To be eligible for entry into the drawing, the SRP participant is required to be a child or teenager of an active-duty service member or retiree, registered online, complete and sign a photo release form, read a minimum of 1,500 minutes and attend at least five SRP events.

The SRP will hold weekly meetings every Tuesday at either the Harriotte B. Smith Library or the MCCS Tarawa Terrace Community Center aboard the MCB Camp Lejeune housing area.

Your adventure awaits.
